The Faculty of Architecture prepares students to design, question, and shape the built environment with creativity, technical knowledge, and social responsibility. Through practice-oriented learning in Berlin, students explore architecture, interior architecture, spatial design, materials, construction, visualization, and research-based design approaches.
Whether you are beginning your architectural education or advancing your spatial design practice, the Faculty of Architecture offers programmes that connect creative thinking, technical knowledge, and responsible design.
Bachelor’s programmes are designed for students who want to build a strong foundation in architecture, interior architecture, design methods, construction, materials, visualization, and spatial thinking. They support students in developing creative and technical skills for future academic and professional pathways.
Master’s programmes are suited to students who want to deepen their design and research skills, develop greater independence as spatial practitioners, and prepare for advanced work in architecture, interior architecture, or interior design.
Students can explore specialized areas such as urban and social practice, material and resilience practice, critical and curatorial practice, interior environments, spatial design, and research-based architectural thinking.
